Mamma Peppino in Centrum

Highly recommended for a lovely evening, enjoying the food, excellent wines, and a great atmosphere.

The food and staff were really great. It can be a bit noisy, but that shouldn't spoil the fun. We will definitely be back!

Best authentic Italian in Alkmaar

The food was excellent, the lasagna was exceptionally delicious. The espresso with a little extra cream was divine! The owner and staff are incredibly friendly. An absolute must if you're in Alkmaar!!

The restaurant was recommended to us by our hotel. The food was wonderful and we have rarely experienced such good service!

Super cozy and pleasant restaurant and what delicious food, really prepared so well, just like in real Italy. Very friendly service.

Lovely restaurant with both vegetarian and vegan options. Friendly and efficient service.

What a gem! We ate here with the four of us and enjoyed ourselves. The bruschetta was fantastic and so different. The lasagna was divine and the stuffed ravioli unreal. We feasted! And will definitely be back again.

We had actually planned to eat here spontaneously two days earlier, but there were no tables available without a reservation. Since our first impression was so positive, we made a reservation shortly afterward – and it was absolutely worth it. Upon arrival, we received a very warm welcome and immediately felt at home. The hostess was exceptionally attentive and friendly, and the service overall was outstanding. We particularly appreciated the thoughtful touches – like the water that was brought directly to our table. The menu is intentionally small, but features fresh, high-quality dishes. This is exactly how you want Italian cuisine to be: authentic, with attention to detail. The wine selection also impressed us. The perfect ending to the meal was an excellent homemade tiramisu. We were also delighted by the ambiance. The stylish interior, with its many charming details, conveys a true Italian flair and creates a warm, relaxed atmosphere. A restaurant where everything simply comes together perfectly: warm hospitality, excellent food, great service, and a beautiful setting. We felt completely at ease and will definitely be back.

The food was very tasty, freshly prepared, and the ambiance was very appealing. A small, elegant Italian restaurant.

This was a really nice local find. The lasagne was delicious and a generous sized portion. The service was warm, inviting and friendly. Be sure to make a reservation.

What a wonderful experience! The four of us, together with friends from Canada, spontaneously went to eat at Mamma Peppino. Everyone was enthusiastic about the food. My ravioli were without a doubt the best I have ever eaten. Everything was clearly homemade, incredibly fresh, and prepared with great care. The flavors were excellent, and you can immediately taste the quality of the ingredients. The friendly service also deserves a big compliment. They made sure we felt welcome right away. Because our Canadian friends are French-speaking, a pleasant mix of Dutch, German, English, and French was spoken at the table. That made the evening extra special and atmospheric. Thank you very much for the delicious meal and the hospitable welcome. We would love to come back!

Really delicious!!! A bit limited choice though.

Upon looking at the menu, it turned out to be extremely limited! Not a single fish or meat dish, and very little choice besides that. In the end, I opted for the ravioli, which was very tasty. Also, a very good Primitivo. Prices are also very reasonable. The service was very friendly.

Such a small restaurant, yet such a huge flavor. Honest, delicious, and highly recommended. Thank you so much for your hospitality.

We stumbled upon this restaurant by chance and managed to snag one of the two tables outside. The service was warm and welcoming, and the food was delicious. The bruschetta and homemade pasta are highly recommended. A wonderful little gem with refined and unique cuisine. Something a little different. Definitely worth a try!

Super delicious Italian restaurant! Cozy, friendly staff, and they are very accommodating regarding gluten intolerance (plenty of options for celiacs). Highly recommended.

Very friendly staff, the food was tasty, affordable, and good portions. We also received a small appetizer as a starter because our main course took a bit long.

Really cute little place that gives a real Italian vibe. The atmosphere is really nice. The staff is polite and very welcoming. Food needs no comment, simply delicious🫠🤤! Prices are reasonable.

What a wonderful evening I had here. The food was truly delicious and everything looked beautiful on the plates. The extensive platter with the various types of cured meats and cheese was especially a treat to share. The atmosphere in the restaurant is very pleasant, and the tabletops displaying the menu give it a unique character. Everything tasted fresh and was prepared with care. I will definitely be back here soon for another round.

On the recommendation of a friend, we went to eat at Mamma Peppino; unfortunately, it turned out to be a disappointment. The food was very mediocre. I had ordered a stuffed eggplant, but the eggplant was impossible to slice/undercooked. The filling was cooked, though—I ate that—but it wasn't great. When I mentioned that the eggplant was undercooked, I was told that this would be passed on to the kitchen. Nothing else happened: no discount, nothing in return for compensation. Note: eating undercooked eggplant is unhealthy; it can cause stomach and intestinal problems. Naturally, I will not be eating at Mamma Peppino again.

A real discovery! Had a truly delicious meal, nice people. And they change the menu often, which is sure to make coming back a treat. A beautiful, clear menu with a wide selection of Italian delicacies that are prepared with care and freshness. Personal attention from the staff in a very nicely decorated restaurant. And, where do you find that nowadays, the bill on a beautiful handwritten receipt. Those details are great.

Super delicious and very nice and hospitable!

A cozy, not-too-large restaurant. We really enjoyed it, and the food was excellent. We had an appetizer platter, ravioli, and tiramisu. It wasn't typical Italian food, but rather unusual and delicious creations. We were lucky to find a free table, so reservations are recommended.

Delicious, vegan options, free water and appetizer.

Italian food like you don't often find in Italy. Individual ingredients blend together into new taste sensations (and certain dishes are also available gluten-free).

We hadn't made a reservation and were very lucky to get a table. It was well worth it... It was a wonderful evening with delicious pasta and an excellent appetizer. We'll definitely be back.

We had a delicious meal and drinks at Mamma Peppino. I had been wanting to go there for a long time. It is a cozy and compact restaurant, which unfortunately makes it a bit noisy. This made it a bit unsettling to have a good conversation. The restaurant was full, a good sign, and very lively of course. Because of this, we did have to wait a bit longer for our dishes; normally not a problem, but a bit less convenient with children. The owner and staff are very friendly and competent, and the food is flavorful and organic. A big plus, of course, is the wide variety of plant-based meals available. We would love to go again to try new dishes. Hopefully, a tasty (vegan) pizza will be added to the menu someday! :)

We had walked past this cozy little restaurant quite often, and it caught our attention every time. Today we finally made a reservation, which was certainly necessary as it was pleasantly busy. Since we had to go to the theater later in the evening, we mentioned this when placing our order. They took this into account very well, and everything proceeded at a nice pace. The food was delicious, and the Bacchus wine, which we were already familiar with, paired perfectly with it. What really topped it off was the passion of the staff. They truly took their time with us, and the dishes were explained in detail, making us feel very welcome. Don't expect a touristy restaurant here, but rather a place where you are truly received as a guest by people with a love for their profession. We will definitely be back!

This is a gem! We thoroughly enjoyed the atmosphere, the food, and the super friendly service. Everything is perfect here. The menu changes every month and you can taste that everything is fresh and homemade, so delicious. Highly recommended 👌🏼

What a cozy little restaurant! Everything is prepared with care, and customers are served with care. Hind was fantastic, and the special dietary requirements were also handled fantastically and with care. Highly recommended!

A small, cute vegan restaurant in the old town, still very unknown but will surely gain much more recognition.

What a surprising restaurant. So much care is taken here with the food and the guests. Had an exquisite meal. Small menu, but with delicious dishes.

Very tasty. It was busy, which is a good sign, but very noisy because of it.

The antipasti were excellent. The main courses were slightly less special. The service was excellent. The atmosphere is cozy, but the acoustics could be improved. Luckily, we had a table by the window, which was nice.

Great food. Small restaurant. Excellent service. Unfortunately, no Italian non-alcoholic beer.

Delicious Italian dishes. Authentic and prepared with passion. The service is incredibly friendly. A cozy spot for a great night out!

Surprised. Small, cozy restaurant in Alkmaar. Good wines. Delicious food. Small Italian menu. I personally thought there could have been a bit more meat on the menu. Now there's some veggie options. But I highly recommend this restaurant. Definitely come back.

The food was fantastic, the staff were friendly and helpful. I just found it very noisy, making it difficult to hear each other at the table.

Tonight, my husband, who has a disability, and I had a wonderful meal. The welcome was very friendly. We were given a table "out of sight." It was particularly thoughtful that a spoon was added to the cutlery without asking. We shared the starter and dessert (both delicious). Our separate main courses were also excellent. All in all, excellent value for money. Finally, I was very politely reminded of the mistake I made at the checkout, which I made to the owner's advantage and was able to correct to our advantage. All in all, a fantastic evening. We'll be back.

The food is fine, but unfortunately, it was served lukewarm. The staff is friendly but only serves the bare essentials. The tables and chairs are outdated, which isn't a problem in itself, but they were also grimy. The homey atmosphere is cozy and welcoming.

I went to Mamma Peppino with a group of friends. It's a small and cozy restaurant with an equally small menu. Which I believe varies with availability. The service is however stellar and the homey. This place serves for a wonderful evening out, with vegetarian, vegan and gluten free options. While it took a bit of time to get our food, some starters were provided on the house which was very delicious and welcome. The food was good as well.

Delicious antipasti, especially the plant-based version, which was very surprising. We also enjoyed the main courses.

Last month, I ate twice at this beautiful place. The atmosphere and setting immediately put you in the right mood for the meal. The staff is friendly, passionate, and genuinely interested. The food is impressive, to say the least. The flavors in the dishes are practically indescribable; you simply have to experience it. A small, varied menu with the most honest prices I've seen in a long time. I've never had such delicious vegetarian dishes. And even though I'm a true meat eater myself, I strongly recommend trying something vegetarian. However, the antipasti platter is allowed to contain meat… a very important tip 😉 You have to try this!

Original, freshly prepared dishes with great flavor. Very hospitable. Reservations are required.

Delicious food!! Cozy little restaurant with a great atmosphere. Highly recommended.

Last Friday, the family and I dined at Mamma Peppino. It's a small and cozy restaurant. The service is friendly; you immediately feel at home. They don't have an extensive menu, but it doesn't need to be; the food is fantastic. For a wonderful evening out, this is the place to be. I won't post any pictures; go to Mamma Peppino and be surprised. The six of us were treated just that.

Delicious, authentic Italian food. Friendly, personal service. They also accommodate dietary requirements. It's a small restaurant with a cozy, homey atmosphere. A wonderful ambiance.

We had a truly delicious meal at this cozy restaurant. The tiramisu is especially recommended. The service is very friendly, and the atmosphere is lovely.

A lovely place to eat with very friendly service. The food was well-prepared and delicious, but just a main course isn't enough, even for a light eater. I missed a piece of bread with the pasta.

Such a pure and delicious meal. Finally, I got my money's worth in a long time. Hats off to the whole team.

We were incredibly lucky to spontaneously get a table without a reservation on a Saturday at 5:30 p.m. We've been wanting to eat at Mamma Peppino for a long time, but since we're always on the spur of the moment in Alkmaar, it never worked out. We'll have to change that in the future, because we had the best (restaurant) meal in a very, very long time. The restaurant itself is very cozy and clean, and it smells fantastic as soon as you walk in. A glance at the drinks menu immediately made us happy: they actually do have special organic lemonades (like Mandarin :-)) We ordered the vegetarian antipasti and two vegetarian dishes. The antipasti platter was truly outstanding – we've rarely experienced such interesting and unique variations of stuffed peppers and other vegetables (fresh!). The accompanying salad and bruschetta were equally special and high-quality. You could taste the quality and attention to culinary detail. The main courses were also great – especially since the portions were quite large. Unfortunately, this meant there was no room for dessert, but the mocha we ordered instead was, according to my husband, the best he'd ever had. The small chocolate served with it rounded off a truly special and wonderful visit – it tasted simply amazing, like everything there! The staff were every bit as good as the excellent food – professional, very friendly/warm, and service-oriented. We felt very comfortable. We can truly recommend this special restaurant – an evening away from the typical tourist menu. Instead, you'll experience outstanding quality and taste.

The menu is very limited. We had a delicious meal, and the service was friendly. The only thing I missed was some Italian music. That would have made the atmosphere perfect.

Cozy restaurant with truly delicious food on the menu. You can taste the care and love.

A wonderful evening for three (our dog was very welcome). There are various starters and dishes, including numerous vegetarian and vegan options. The dishes, including bruschetta, two pasta dishes, and the tiramisu, were all extremely delicious and not entirely traditional, but rather prepared with a unique twist. Traditional cuisine with its own twist. I'm happy to wait 15 minutes longer than usual for my food. No problem at all. We really enjoyed the evening and would love to visit again if we're ever in the area!

A nice little restaurant, but the cuisine is fantastic, with its Italian flavors and dishes. We were instantly transported back to Sicily. Highly recommended; the service was excellent, prompt, and prompt. Do make reservations in advance. It's a shame we live on the other side of the Netherlands.

Vanavond heerlijk gegeten, de kaart is klein maar toch moeilijk kiezen uit de heerlijke gerechten. De bediening legt het goed uit en is vriendelijk. De toetjes zijn ook voortreffelijk.

The food was delicious!! Especially the antipasti (vegetarian)... very surprising! The cannelloni was delicious!! The service was excellent, and the cozy atmosphere made you feel like you were in Italy!

Helemaal top ! Uitstekende smaken , top bediening! Heerlijke avond ! Goede wijn erbij ,klein knus huiselijk restaurant. Echt genoten ❤️

After two fully booked days, we made a reservation for Sunday. The two of us dined here on Sunday evening. It's a cozy and pleasantly decorated restaurant, very Italian. You can feel and taste the atmosphere. The wine complemented the delicious food. We thoroughly enjoyed it. As a starter, we ordered the antipasto combination options 2 and 3: vegetarian and meat. For the main course, we had cannelloni and ravioli, both exceptionally delicious. Unfortunately, the tiramisu was gone, but the other desserts were also fantastic! Prices are generally a bit more expensive, but reasonable. Afterward, I personally thanked the chef for the delicious dinner.

Delicious food, super friendly service. Really recommended!

Heerlijke smaken en lekker gegeten. Zeer vriendelijke bediening! Leuke huiskamer setting en mooie wijnen. Echt een aanrader!

Nice little restaurant! Good food and good service.

Cosy atmosphere, cosy and warm, 2 lovely young girls in the service but very good at their job. The food was delicious and there was a lot of choice also for me since I don't eat fish or meat. With the delicious dessert we got delicious Italian coffee this made the evening complete. We would love to come back. Greetings Fam Lugas

Super tasty vegan food. Great service too and will definitely come back here

Delicious varied food and very nice staff who know what they are putting on the table.

Small-scale living room restaurant, food is prepared with care. Pricey but it is granted. Reservations are recommended.

The plate was hot, the lasagna was partly warm and partly cold, and it was in the microwave. We were given a small antipasti to make up for the long wait. The wine was very good at €5 a glass. It wasn't possible to pay by e-card that evening. This caused annoyance among the guests because they hadn't been informed beforehand. The food was not value for money.

Very tasty and very nice service

In short; "Fantastic!". Yesterday we were able to get a table quite last minute with the 3 of us. It is a cozy "little place" with a friendly atmosphere. The service is friendly, fast & sharp yet relaxed. The food didn't disappoint either! The Bruschetta was delicious & the salad was also great. The only downside to the lasagna is that what I serve on the table at home will never taste as good again.... the ravioli was also fantastic! (Yes, it was difficult to choose, so let's share). Then I inhaled a delicious tiramisu, which I ate very easily, followed by a nice strong "cup of coffee" from the percolator. The only thing that shocked us was actually the bill... After all, it was a lot lower than expected! A good evening all around in a cozy tent with good service, fantastic food & an amazingly affordable price.

What a gem in Alkmaar! Delicious oastas and authentic side dishes. Also affordable!

Don't tell anyone, but this really is a hidden gem. Super delicious food and the friendliest people who work there

Tasty and simple Italian. Pleasant atmosphere and friendly service.

Great restaurant and delicious food

Delicious dishes on the menu, beautifully decorated, romantic Italian atmosphere, table of about 8, on which part of the entire map of Italy is printed with tips, and nice staff! I will definitely come back ✨️😁

Delicious food, cozy ambience, and friendly staff. Will definitely be back! Highly recommend!

Delicious food. Small menu which is perfect, everything is tasty. The vegetarian antipasti are delicious, as are the pastas and tiramisu. Cozy atmosphere, nice location in a small street. Honest food and fair price. Small downside: the plastic table covering that has been repaired here and there with duct tape. Doesn't look nice, doesn't feel nice on your sleeve and isn't really hygienic either. That deserves an upgrade at this nice restaurant!!

Super tasty food! Gluten-free possible (please indicate in advance). I had choices of different types of pastas or gnocchi. And there was a delicious dessert (also a choice)! The service was good, fun and attentive. Furthermore, the atmosphere was nice and cozy (in a positive sense). We will definitely go back again, there will be a different menu because it changes regularly. Mi Piace!

Fantastic food, nice cozy restaurant, again soon.

We had a delicious meal and we were very pleased with the service..fam hockers

Nice little restaurant where you will be pampered

Simply fantastic food, great service and a very nice atmosphere. Recommended!!

Very good vegan food. Fresh and surprising.

Nice Italian restaurant in Alkmaar. Nice location with friendly staff. Delicious dishes with a regularly changing menu.

We hebben echt heerlijk gegeten in dit gezellige restaurant. Het ziet er heel knus uit en de bediening is erg vriendelijk.

A really nice Italian restaurant to eat (no pizzas but authentic Italian dishes). The restaurant is not large so reservations are recommended. I enjoyed the atmosphere and the delicious food and was able to practice my Italian with the owner 🥰

Very nice restaurant. And we had a very nice evening. Definitely recommended. If I had anything to comment on, it would be that I personally think there is a fairly compact map.

Food was very good and a lot of attention was paid to it. Not a restaurant for the real meat eater, most dishes are vegetarian. Limited menu, but the dishes on it are really prepared with care and surprising.

Excellent!. I've been here 3 times now and every time the food and service surprises me. Nice and alert ladies and authentic Italian food. Although I cannot speak from experience that it is authentic Italian food, I do get that feeling. A small menu for main courses, but I feel that fresh ingredients are always used in the dishes. There is not a huge choice in terms of beer, but there is a varied choice of beer. The atmosphere is nice and beautiful. We just had the coincidence that we were sitting at the only table that had a dent in it. Because the menu changes every month, we will definitely go here more often

Heerlijke gerechten. Zeer prettige bediening en intieme sfeer. We waren 2 dagen in Alkmaar. De eerste avond konden we nog aanschuiven, maar de 2e dag was het vol. Dus op tijd reserveren.

Dined with 5 people. We found the atmosphere very cozy, the service friendly and attentive and the food was excellent. We look back on a very successful evening. We therefore highly recommend Mama Peppino!

Tja wat zal ik er over opschrijven. Allereerst, is het een restaurant die iedere maand een nieuwe menukaart heeft. Verder hebben ze allerlei speciaal bieren en goede wijnen. Jammer, zeer jammer is dat je dan niet de juiste beleving wil hebben voor ALLE gasten, door BIOLOGISCHE cola te serveren en dan nog zeggen dat het net zo lekker is al normale cola(jullie hebben echt geen verstand van frisdrank smaak). Ik heb zelden zulke slechte bocht gedronken, wat verschrikkelijk! Voor fris drinkers die ook smaak hebben!! absoluut geen goede tent. Verder nagenoeg alle gerechten met kaas, er zijn ook mensen die kaas NIET lekker vinden. Voor mij niet meer en echt de allerlaatste keer.

Wir waren hier während unseres Urlaubs zu Gast und sind aufgrund der positiven Bewertung hier eingekehrt. Wir hatten einen sehr schönen Abend. Ohne Reservierung sind wir sehr freundlich empfangen worden und haben einen schönen Tisch bekommen. Unser Hund hat sofort eine Schüssel Wasser bekommen und das Personal war ausnehmend freundlich und aufmerksam. Man muss jedoch wissen, dass die Karte recht klein ist und derjenige der Spaghetti Carbonara oder Pizza sucht wird enttäuscht sein. Wir fanden das Konzept klasse, das Essen frisch zubereitet und sehr köstlich. Wir können das Restaurant nur empfehlen und würden jederzeit wiederkommen. Wenn man einen Kritikpunkt finden möchte, dann ist es schon empfehlenswert wenn man einen Espresso anbietet. Ein starker Filterkaffee ist meiner Meinung nach kein Ersatz. Jammern auf hohen Niveau. Hervorzuheben möchte auch die in Schönschrift geschriebene Quittung. Das habe ich noch nie gesehen. Weiter so.

Worth all the stars. What a great time we had together here! We will definitely come back.

1 avond per jaar ga ik met mijn oudste dochter uit eten en iets leuks doen, vanavond was dat dus Mamma Peppino en de bioscoop. Ik kan alleen maar zeggen dat ik in jaren niet zo lekker gegeten heb. Waar je in het gros van de restaurants bij de Sligro uit eten bent, krijg je in dit restaurant passie en smaak. Geen Coca Cola of sinas op de kaart maar frisdranken van het merk Tomarchio of siropen met verschillende smaken. Elke maand een ander menu, dat getuigd van passie en motivatie en dat is qua smaak zeker terug te proeven in de verschillende gerechten die wij mochten beleven. Het ovengerecht was 3000 graden, dus even laten afkoelen, maar overheerlijk (pastaschelpen gevuld met paddenstoelen in een tomatensaus met kaas). Mijn dochter ravioli gevuld met gegrilde groente in een pesto van gegrilde courgette (je verzint het niet maar wat een smaakexplosie). De ingrediënten gaven de smaak en ik kan niets anders bedenken dat de chef een talent heeft of enorme interesse en plezier in het werk. Hetgeen waar ik mij soms aan kan ergeren in restaurants is de bediening. Geen ervaring of eigenaarschap in het werk. Hier absoluut niet, beide dames netjes gekleed, respectvol en weten hoe het in de HORECA hoort. Ik kom hier met het gezin in zeer korte tijd weer terug aangezien we toch een beetje moesten haasten om de film te halen, maar ik denk dat dit ons nieuwe restaurant to go wordt. Een pareltje. Bedankt voor de leuke avond die we bij jullie mochten ervaren.

The restaurant is quite nice and cozy. There is only space for around 25 people. The two waitresses were very nice. However, it all took quite a long time. In addition, small things were forgotten several times (bread, cheese). The starter was good. The main courses could have used a little more salt and just a little more oomph. In total we paid €135 for 2 starters, 4 main courses, 4 coffees, 1 dessert and 4 drinks.

A successful, culinary evening! Very pleasant atmosphere with a very calm, attentive owner in service. Free tap water is served as a welcome. The salad with the bruschetta was a treat with stewed grapes, avocado and roasted nuts. The lasagne was light, tasty and full of flavor (also a smokey aroma?), very interesting! And we were allowed to share the chocolate tiramisu. A dream!!! Everything fresh, authentic and tasty. If you order Italian café, it will be prepared and served in Mocha. Bella vita in Alkmaar. The owner also speaks Italian, English, German, of course Dutch and maybe more? :-) Thanks for the great evening and saluti there Zurigo!

Super cozy spot and delicious fresh pasta. The service was great, too!

Very, very tasty. Would love to come back.

So far the best Italian restaurant in the Netherlands!
